Now I'm riding through the air
Going to where no one dares
On the way I cross the line forevermore.
For once in life, I do not care
Nothing matters, now I dare
On the ride I'll cross the line
Forever to be free

Mostly Bright Eyes lately, both electric and acoustic. However, I burned a cd with the Edge of Time tour setlist on it, and I have been listening to it since mid-December every time I get into the car. I can't even remember the last cd I wore out this hard. It's been two months since the show(s), and I still squeal and drum my heels on the ground when I hear those axes come in on Sacred Worlds. Or when a particularly pleasant memory of the show pops into my mind, and there are many.

This probably makes it look as though I'm completely insane to anyone who happens to pull up beside me at a stop light, but I just turn it up louder and give them a little piece of the action. At least my level ten enthusiasm seemed to entertain the band as well, since Andre kept glancing down and laughing at me, with me sweating like I was working on the chain gang, and a gleam in the eyes which suggested I was trying to telepathically ask the man to marry me. (Which is exactly what I was doing)

Had a really fun and perhaps slightly odd time with these songs the other day. I was driving home and didn't want to get there before the song I was listening to finished, so I headed up to this really old cemetery on the hill overlooking my town. My grandfather and great grandparents are buried there, so I occasionally stop by for a visit, and also love it because it's so very old and quite beautiful.

I parked the car and opened the doors and let my Blind Guardian blast while I chatted with my grandfather. As I said, the place is lovely, but the addition of BG made it just a beautiful place to be. I think I've discovered a new activity for myself, as strange as it may be. I'm weird about my music and sometimes need to be off by myself to listen to it and fully enjoy it, so this works out quite well. Next time I'm gonna head up toward the graves of the unknown Civil War soldiers and let them rock out to Valkyries, hehe.
